| Publisher Description: 1911. A charming, witty, and elegant man often called the incomparable Max, Beerbohm was a brilliant parodist and the master of a polished prose style. Zuleika Dobson is many sorts of a novel, but first and foremost it is the emanation of a most subtle and deadly caricaturist, a shrewd and knavish sprite amongst mortal men. Beerbohm's sparklingly wicked satire concerns the unlikely events that occur when a femme fatale briefly enters the supremely privileged, all-male domain of Judas College, Oxford. It was named as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the century, as chosen by the editorial board of the Modern Library.
